Hello,
I tried to compile kaffe 1.1.3 form the .tar.gz since that is the
version from darwinports.
However:
140 of 144 tests failed
Please report to kaffe at kaffe.org
and looking... compiling just doesn't work:
java.lang.ClassFormatError: truncated class
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0 (ClassLoader.java)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass (ClassLoader.java:179)
at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass (SecureClassLoader.
java:33)
at kaffe.lang.AppClassLoader$JarSource.findClass (AppClassLoader.java:
143)
at kaffe.lang.AppClassLoader.findClass (AppClassLoader.java:291)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass (ClassLoader.java:142)
I hvae only one suspect, but it may be a false alarm. After
decompressing .tar.gz I found one @LongLink file, this means that with
one file gnu tar made a mess. It is a single case, it would be really
bad luck. I have BSD tar and I would start advising to use BSD tar for
kaffe distribution instead of buggy GNU crap. In any case, the guys at
darwinports.. have BSD tar too!!!
